Abstract:Experimental data pertaining to two pairs of solid-substrate sulfate-reducing biocolumns for remediation of mine drainage were used for calibrating and testing new reactive transport models based on sulfate reduction and sulfide precipitation linked to rate-limiting solid-substrate hydrolysis. First-order ͑F͒ and Contois ͑C͒ kinetics for decomposition as well as different numbers of pools of decomposable materials were proposed in different models ͑F1-F3 and C1-C3͒. Effluent sulfate concentrations for one of t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
